Yo linux team, i would love some advice.
I’m pretty mad at windows, 11 keeps getting worse and worse and I pretty done with Bill’s fetishes about bing and ai. Who knows where’s cortana right now…
Anyway, I heard about this new company called Linux and I’m open to try new stuff. I’m a simple guy and just need some basic stuff:
- graphic stuff: affinity, canva, corel, gimp etc… (no adobe anymore, please don’t ask.)
- 3d modelling and render: blender, rhino, cinema, keyshot
- video editing: davinci
- some little coding in Dart/flutter (i use VS code, I don’t know if this is good or bad)
- a working file explorer (can’t believe i have to say this)
- NO FUCKIN ADS
- NO MF STUPID ASS DISGUSTING ADVERTISING
The tricky part is the laptop, a zenbook duo pro (i9-10/rtx2060), with double touch screens.
I tried ubuntu several years ago but since it wasn’t ready for my use i never went into different distros and their differences. Now unfortunately, ready or not, I need to switch.

Errrr… why would you try to trigger people, especially while asking for their help? Don’t you think it’s plain rude?
I think it’s hilarious. If somebody gets triggered by something so simple, their advice will probably amount to “use Arch/NixOS/Gentoo” and probably isn’t worth listening to.
I thought it was funny as well. Sometimes FOSS communities are so very uptight, we should relax a bit.

So you’re a dick. Got it.
You sound like a dick, and “Bill” is not involved anymore. That’s like yelling at Steve Jobs.
Regardless, I just switched a dozen people in my company to KDE Neon with no issues. Full hardware support. They’re all using Thinkpad, mostly the T16
I Will spit out what i think cause this threads are full of words and empty of content… Almost any Linux distro is good for starting out … Make sure it has a nice manual and community Ubuntu, mint debian or something similar… Vs code Is a Microsoft fork of vs codium an open source app, to avoid telemetry just use vs codium… Remove adds can be done in different ways in my opinion add bloock on Firefox is a good start… File explorer are good on any Linux distro just learn how to use one … If u have a document u should probably save it in the document folder… in your user home …
Try Linux Mint.
Honestly anything shipping a MATE desktop edition would be good too. MATE is similar enough to windows that most people get it pretty quickly.
Is Linux Mint well adapted for touch screens?
I think I would go for GNOME if I were to use Linux with a touch screen. Then again, I’m using it anyway, so I’m probably biased.
I got a laptop with a touch screen for a young kid in my family, installed Fedora Workstation with its native Gnome desktop, and touch worked great without any tinkering.
Gnomes workflow is a big departure from windows, but with its gesture navigation on a trackpad, I think it’s a highly superior way to use a laptop. My desktop gets KDE Plasma, but if I had a laptop it would use gnome

+1, GNOME dumps the whole desktop and taskbar thing in favor of gestures and the overview. Once you get a feel for it I think it’s honestly a lot more usable than traditional taskbar and desktop icon GUIs.
